 Householders, restaurant and boarding house dealers and all interested in economy and convinced that dollar saved is 8 dollar earned will do well to read the advertisement in anotLer column concerning MT. Clarks new store at 21 Church street, erected by himself, and which he opens to the public on Satur- day next. Here he will make speciality of selling butter at low prices, keeping all grades from the strictly pure down to the manufac- tured article, but making a speciality of the Providence dairy product so extensively re- nowned as very welcome and desirable for the table, the cash price for which is only 20 cents pound, whereas he claims it to equal the butter usually sold elsewhere for 40 cents. A half pound sample free to all callers. He will deal also in coal and announces his de- termination to sell to cash customers fifty cents ton cheaper than the same quality is sold elsewhere. The opening of his Store on Saturday will doubtless call out large at- tendance of people.

THE STATE HOUSE.

Allegations Concerning Its Condition Vigorously Denied.
 A writer in the Register last evening states (making 1t appear that Alderman Daley said itD: "The old State House is now very dan gerous and menace to human life, as plas- ter and other material is liable to fall. To repair it would cost $50.000. He warned people (referring to the Grand Army Admiral ber) that he would not be liable for people being killed or the city would not be-"
 That the repair of the State House has been too long neglected all admit. It is not an old building. It was built in 1880 and will be good, safe, comedy and useful edi- fee for hundred years to come. It is built for this time and age as much (and more) as all good buildings built in 1880 were. Twelve thousand dollars will put it now in better condition than it was when used as the State Capitol forty three years till 1873. During all those years only the most niggard- ly appropriations were made for repairs. Since then hardly dollars worth of repair except the tin on the roof has been made. The roof is one of the strongest, best designed, thoroughly braced and timbered in the city. Only the porti- coes, the roof covering over them and the plastered ceiling or the south portlco need attention. Instead of lath and plaster, cor rugated iron ceiling needs to be substituted. Not particle of material is "falling" or dangerous" except that ceiling. MT. G. w. Darlington, the janitor's, family have lived in the building for ten years. The writer for three years has been there during the day. Their friends and visitors to the number of hundreds in day freely and fear
 lessly go in and out of the building every day. The Grand Army meetings, the drum corps, the Tennis clubs, the United Workers, the children's sewing school, the Boys club, use the State House gladly and constantly. The edifce is the city's property. It is not right to wait for rich citizens to repair it. It would be med ding with what does not belong to them. The tin roof over the south portico needs re- pair and makes the lath and plaster ceiling on the southeast corner dangerous to slight extent. The city repaired the roof once and needs now to do it again without delay. The building is eligible, slightly, strongly built, foored in the best manner. The word about propping up or floors needing support is false. At less cost and more easily than any other building it can be made safe and secure for the crowds who will gladly visit it at the fair and before the fair.

a Frenchman's Scheme,

That foe of bachelors. the Partisan
journalist Henri Fouquier, has Just
added highly original clause to his
programme for the encoura cement of
wedlock. M. Fouquier is prominent
advocate for the taxation of bachelors.
But he thinks that this negative i'm
ducement to holy matrimony ought to
be supplemented by an inducement
emphatically positive. The father of a
family, according to NJ. Fouquier's
project, is TO be allowed an additional
vote, or at least an additional fraction
OF vote, for each additional lcgiti-
mate son or daughter presented to him
by his wife. The State must perish,
according to this lively publicist, I'M
less it is firmly grounded upon that
equally necessary and equally divine
social organism-the family.-M Y.

SMALL sELFIsHNESS.


Petty Acts Of Injustice Which Frequently

Selfishness as irritating as the grasp
Ing of the best seat and best light and

In season and out of season and obtrude
them even to the injury of the feelings
of others, and if not early and late in
sisting upon them, yet never failing to
read the fragment from book or jour-
nal, unpleasantly supporting them, and
indulging in the audible sniff or sheer
or outspoken innuendo, if such thing
there be, on every occasion where the
indulgence is possible, selfshness

of no ones views but ones own, and
treats the individuality of all others

wait while servants grow impatient
and unwilling, and eyes grow tired
with watching and ears with listening,
just as much as the almost precisely
opposite selfishness insists upon
the keeping of such promises and
engagements even to the point of posi-
tive discomfort and injury to the other
party, who perhaps can not keep them
without such injury, and could be ex-
cused by one with any unselfish care.
One would find it hard to come to the
end of a statement of these small acts of
selfishness which infest the household
and hurt it through burning sense of
the injustice done by them; and it is a
question if, with the present imperfec-
ton of human nature, we shall ever
quite escape them; they are as count
less as gnats in swarm, and as vexa-
tious. There is but one way to abate
their nuisance, and that is by fire.

are practicing a self-abnegation that

that may be.-Harper's Bazaar.

THEY STILL LIVE.

Three Species Of Men Who Enjoy Leaping
From Moving Trains.
Railroads have been in operation in
this country for fifty years. and yet the
man who can not wait until the train
reaches the depot before he jumps off is
still at it. He doesn't seem to have
learned any thing in all this time. He
rarely waits for the train to slack up,
even before he takes his leap. It is
more exciting that way. He generally
selects spot where the embankment is
very high, unless there be lofty tres
tie from which he can go plung1ng
down into ravine or river.
He generally jumps off to save time.
He lives few streets that side of the
depot, perhaps, and in order to save
walking back he is ready to take the
chances of being carried home in an
undertaker's wagon, Us he frequently is.
Yet it is remarkable how often he es-
capes serious injury. He has been
known to take the most frightful leaps
from railroad bridges in dark night,
and come off with hardly scratch.
There are other men who leap from
moving trains, but they are more ex-
cusable than the fellow above treated
of. There is the prisoner who makes a
leap for liberty. Handouts don't stop
him, and he generally prefers to 60 fly
ing, head first, through window, re-
CARELESS of where he may strike. If he
survives and isn't too badly crippled,
he strikes for the woods, followed some
times by the deputy sheriff who had
him in charge and who leaps after him.
Then there is the somnambulist who
jumps in his sleep. He dreams that a
collision is imminent, and running to
the platform, he makes a leap for life
before the conductor can take up his
ticket.-Iezas Siftings.
